The Nuggets are heading back to Denver after back-to-back wins in South Beach.
After stealing Games 3 and 4 in Miami, the Nuggets will return to the friendly confines of Ball Arena with a chance to capture their first Larry O'Brien Trophy.
In Game 4, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray both went for double-doubles, but it was the supporting cast that sealed the win. Aaron Gordon's game-high 27 points and Bruce Brown's 21 points off the bench helped combat 25 points from Jimmy Butler and 20 points from Bam Adebayo.
Now, the Heat will have to steal their second game of the series in Denver to keep their season alive. Their Game 2 win was the Nuggets' only playoff loss at home.
